In a general sense, the German Empire refers to Germany from the unification of Germany by Prussia in 1871 to the abdication of Wilhelm II, the last emperor of the Hohenzollern dynasty in 1918. After the establishment of the empire, under the leadership of the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck, the economy, military, and science and technology all achieved rapid development, and it became a world-class power. The "Unique German Road" seemed like a broad road, but the expansion gene rooted in its marrow led it to rapid demise. In 1918, the empire collapsed in the First World War, leaving a legacy that was ultimately handed over to the Weimar Republic. "History of World Empires: The German Empire" attempts to narrate the development trajectory of the German Empire to show a typical example of a new empire that rose rapidly and fell rapidly.

It was impossible for people to describe the satellites of Mars 151 years before they were discovered, or a world before the "Apollo Project" was born, or 16 years before the Pacific War broke out; the ancient powerful Roman legions could not be defeated by huge machines; a medieval oil painting could not show a moving toy helicopter; a well-preserved ancient building in the world could not have no obvious architectural purpose, let alone be built using modern technological means. Yeah? Please guess again. These are indeed impossible to exist, at least according to the timetable of historical development stages generally accepted by the world, not to mention according to the mainstream theories of time and causality. There is no doubt that they are impossible to occur. However, there is also no doubt that they really exist. In fact, there are quite a few such phenomena, but they are hidden under people's eyes.

After World War I, the United States quickly went from prosperity to an unprecedented "Great Depression." President Roosevelt, who advocated innovation, promoted the Blue Eagle Plan to balance the "left" and right forces and stabilize the domestic situation. In the face of the expansion of Germany, Italy and Japan, the domestic isolation sentiment made Roosevelt powerless. France fell and the United States began to intervene in the war.

Some chapters in this book are not historical facts about the uprising. I knew nothing about this uprising. At the moment, I still know nothing about it. Maybe it won't be until a few years later that the truth about this uprising will surface and become known to the world.

But in these two weeks, these countless rumors and suspense were the only news that Dubliners paid attention to; just as important as bread to people.

He may not have been the first person to try to point out sights to travelers that should not be missed, but this list of objects admired by the world may have come from him and was reproduced by other writers until it became authoritative. Antiparke had strict selection criteria and limited the number of wonders in the list to the sacred number seven, hence the term "Seven Wonders of the World".

Wang Shi and Wang Wei wrote the preface, and Wu Xiaobo, Qin Shuo, and Wu Bofan jointly recommended it. The Roman Empire was once glorious and shining, but today it will finally say goodbye. The end of the Roman Empire begins with the true division of the empire. However, both East and West Rome still struggled to maintain their final dignity and were exhausted at the border. When did the Roman Empire fall? No one could explain it clearly. It appeared with great vigor, but ended quietly, without the proper farewell. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it certainly won't be finished in a day.

Wang Shi and Wang Wei wrote the preface, and Wu Xiaobo, Qin Shuo, and Wu Bofan jointly recommended it. After the death of Emperor Constantine, he left behind the Roman Empire that he had transformed with his own hands. When Rome was about to fall, the traitor Uris went to war and turned the tide for the gods. Euris spent his childhood in the storm of the struggle for the throne, and his imprisoned life allowed him to wander in the philosophical world of Greece and Rome. However, he was finally pushed to the highest stage of politics. His unexpected military exploits against the barbarians and his drastic attitude in promoting policies won him the love of the army and the people. He did more than that. He was determined to resist the Christian trend that had been coming in force for fifty years. He tried to turn things around, but was killed in the Persian War. The temple door, which was finally reopened, was closed again.

It is a must-read for business elites and politicians in Japan and South Korea, and a must-read for education! Wang Shi and Wang Wei wrote the preface, and Wu Xiaobo, Qin Shuo, and Wu Bofan jointly recommended it. This volume introduces the Roman emperors of the third century: there is no sense of grace or magnanimity, nor is there any majestic elegance. The Germanic people were powerful and no longer the barbarians who occasionally went south to plunder. Mesopotamia and Persia in the east were even more eyeing, constantly spying on and probing, and even openly challenging. The emperors of the third century could not miss the comfortable and prosperous Roman palace. Their responsibilities lay at the borders, in front of distant foreign nations. They were exhausted in solving domestic social problems and foreign invasions abroad. Facing the aging Roman Empire, can Christianity be a shot in the arm? Or hasten the collapse of Rome? Huge changes test Roma's resilience.

Marcus Aurelius, the Roman philosopher emperor, realized Plato's ideals. However, noble moral character and excellent abilities cannot turn the tide. Aurelius burned his heart and soul to extend the life of the empire. Although he won praise from later generations, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually enveloped the empire. The long-term military tension has given the soldiers great power, and military leaders who strictly guard the borders have become contenders for the throne. The fighting between compatriots seems to be a repeat of the late first century. The empire was bound to face harsher tests both inside and outside it, and Rome seemed to be at the end of the road.

All roads lead to Rome, the roads of the Roman Empire started from Rome, and nothing in the world reflects the genius of the Romans more than infrastructure. As the heart of a huge empire, Rome followed an extensive transportation network. Hardware avenues, bridges, and waterways opened up the bloodline of the empire and nourished every inch of land; software medical care, education, and postal systems gave the people the most comfortable and healthy environment and the power of knowledge. The uncanny craftsmanship and down-to-earth national spirit create a great milestone in civilization.

Wang Shi and Wang Wei wrote the preface, and Wu Xiaobo, Qin Shuo, and Wu Bofan jointly recommended it. This is a rare happy era. The second century AD is considered the golden century by contemporary Romans. Trajan, Hadrian, and Antony worked together to bring the Roman Empire to a new peak and became a model for future generations of virtuous kings. The three of them worked hard for the three major responsibilities of the Roman emperor proposed by the Romans: diplomacy, internal affairs, and infrastructure construction, and showed the diverse styles of excellent leaders through their differences in personal characteristics.

As the first in a series of works, it tells the history of Rome during the five hundred years from its founding to the First and Second Punic Wars. It's a story over a long period of suffering, and even in its heyday it was often a step forward and a half step back. The important reason why Rome was able to achieve great success was basically germinated during these five hundred years. Just as a person begins to understand the true value of the strength he accumulated in his teenage years until he is thirty years old.

This volume takes war as its theme and describes the 130-year history of Rome's domination of the Mediterranean. From 218 BC to 202 BC, the world-famous general Hannibal led his army from Spain and led his elephant team across the Alps to attack the Italian mainland. The war lasted for 16 years, and the two sides fought eight rounds of battles, which were indistinguishable. For 16 years, Hannibal kept Rome stretched and without peace. In the end, Xiapi defeated the famous general Hannibal. The thrilling war scenes and the wonderful plot of reversal of victory are thought-provoking. War people reflect the way the class thinks and behaves. Why did the Greeks with superior knowledge and the Carthaginians with strong military power eventually lose to the Romans?

It is a must-read for business elites and politicians in Japan and South Korea, and a must-read for education! Wang Shi and Wang Wei wrote the preface, and Wu Xiaobo, Qin Shuo, and Wu Bofan jointly recommended it. After Nero's death, there was no longer a lineage of divine kings to inherit the vast Roman Empire. In the chaotic year 69 AD, the military took control of the political power. Three people were elected by the legions and proclaimed themselves emperors. The Germanic and Jewish peoples also took the opportunity to strive for independence. The turmoil of the civil war and the uncertainty of the throne made Roman citizens tired. Their enthusiasm was gone and they looked coldly at the world that was about to collapse. Under this series of tests, can Rome be reborn from the ashes?
